The name of the bar is very simple "platform", the shape is also quaint, all pure wood structure, there are many forests around this side, and the forest rangers are also young people in the town, it is estimated that as long as it is not excessive, no one will blame for the proper felling.

The bar is actually about 10 centimeters away from the ground, so that the bar can be properly kept dry, and there will be no small animals such as snakes and insects that affect the mood to crawl in.

Paul stood outside and took a cursory look at his surroundings, because the town is large and has few people, so the distance between buildings is relatively far.

The bar stood alone on two abandoned tram tracks, and perhaps, it used to be a station too, Paul guessed.

There are not a few cars at the door of the bar, but the voices inside are very boiling, everyone comes to drink or chat, and they are more accustomed to walking over, anyway, it is not far, and it can also be used as a fitness.

Pushing the door in, Paul found that there were more than 10 small round tables inside, a bar counter was facing the door, and at the end of the round table, there were 2 snooker tables, and several men with big shoulders and round waists were having fun around the table.

Paul walked over to the bar, sat down on a stool on tiptoe, and tapped his fingers on the countertop: "Hi there, Paul, please give me a glass of lemonade." ”

The female bartender was only about 20 years old, and Paul's handsome smile actually made her a little nervous: "Hi, hello." My name is Eva, don't you drink? ”

Taking the glass of water, a piece of lemon floated in the clear water, Paul took a sip, the cold breath ran down his throat into the abdominal cavity, and the heat in his body immediately disappeared.

After saying thank you, Paul and Eva talked, and after a few minutes, the two of them were already talking and laughing freely, and even the men at the snooker table in the distance shouting for a few more bottles of beer were waved by Eva: "Come and get it yourself, I'm busy, don't you see!" ”

No one will be angry, Eva is also watched by everyone grew up, a strong man with a full beard walked over, waited for Eva to turn around to get a beer, and patted Paul on the shoulder: "Young man, I think you are good, don't waste time, little Eva is the beauty of our town." ”

Laughing in the distance, Eva blushed and pushed the beer to the beard: "Uncle Ameda, don't talk nonsense, beware of me complaining to Aunt Colo." ”

After chatting for a while, Paul asked, "Eva, what time do you come to work every day, and what do you like to do when you're not working?" ”

"I volunteer at the church in the town during the day and work here at night, but tomorrow I'll rest during the day." Eva glanced at Paul quietly, and had a clear affection for the outsider, and her last hint was very quiet.

The two chatted for a long time, and Paul finally asked on the side, the bar will be brought fresh bread every day, but not from 7 to 9 o'clock as Brian said, but at 10 o'clock every day.

At this time, Brian also came in, and it stands to reason that he had left Rebecca's house before Paul, and he also said that he would come to the bar himself, maybe there was something delaying, and Paul didn't care.

However, Brian also entered the bar, and Eva smiled apologetically at Paul and began to get busy under Brian's command.

Brian was still very personable, and did not get angry with Paul because of Coleman's words, said hello to Paul, and turned around and said, "Eva, Paul's bill is waived, I will sign." ”

Eva snapped in agreement, took out a huge map and pinned it to the wooden wall with the help of a few people, it was a very detailed map of the town, including every trail in the surrounding mountains and forests.

"This map is very old, a few decades ago when the town was preparing for mining, and the residents of the town organized themselves to go into the mountains to survey the topographic map, which is very detailed." Brian kindly explained to Paul, who was interested in standing aside and watching.

Coleman and Wang Lei stood on either side of Julie looking at the computer screen, which was a selfie at Rebecca's house.

Tanit was a year or two younger, maybe 10 or 11, in a short skirt, circling around the table, laughing with joy.

Brian chased her around the table, and the two of them played like this, and Rebecca's voice could be heard shouting from time to time, "Slow down, Tanit, you run slower." ”

Brian finally caught up with Tanit and directly picked her up and put her on his shoulder: "See how you run?" Can't outrun me, can you? ”

With a few "pops", Brian's palm slapped on Tanit's ass. Share. Although she was not very old, Tanit also began to develop, and her face immediately turned red.

Tanit struggles to get down and Brian slaps her ass again. It can be seen that Tanit roared angrily, and his fingers pinched directly on Brian's back, causing Brian to put her down in pain.

Rebecca angrily scolded her daughter, "How can you be so rude, Tanit? ”

The screen went black for half a minute, and the playback time of the disc was still beating. After a shaking, the picture reappeared.

Tanit was doing her homework, Brian walked quietly behind her, suddenly reached out and hugged her, arms across her slightly bulging chest, this time, Tanit was not angry, the two of them talked like this for a few minutes, and the picture was still.

Julie turned off the computer: "I think Brian has a tendency to be obscene, it's just weird, as a mother, she should generally protect her daughter, how can Rebecca blame her daughter in turn?" ”

Paul walked out of the bar and called Coleman: "Brian's alibi yesterday morning is not valid, it is a fake. ”

Coleman, who got the news, immediately told Wang Lei and Julie, and suggested whether Brian should be brought in first and talked again.

Wang Lei shook his head, this disc can't be used as evidence: "Let's go find Tanit's best friend first." Pointing to the photo on the wall, two girls of the same age hugged each other, smiling innocently and sweetly.

Amanda, Tanit's best friend, the two usually spend most of their time in everything, and they should be described as inseparable.

In the living room of Amanda's house, Amanda's parents sat on either side of their daughter as if they were facing a great enemy, looking at Coleman and Wang Lei on the opposite side vigilantly, and Julie and Paul sitting on the side.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Tanit will never leave by himself without telling me, for whatever reason." Amanda was sure.

"Do you know what Tanet usually wants to do or want to pursue her boys?" Wang Lei asked.

Before she could answer, Amanda's mother grabbed her daughter's arm: "How does Amanda know about this in our family?" Amanda usually only focuses on her studies, which you can ask about when you go to the neighbor's house and school. ”

Wang Lei glanced at Julie, and Julie looked at Amanda's mother sincerely: "Now." Outside, there's another girl who may be struggling, even if it's for Amanda's safety in the future, let's let Amanda answer herself, okay? ”

The mother was silent, and the father stood up, patted his wife on the shoulder, and took the lead back to his room. The mother hesitated for a few seconds, then got up and walked away.

Without parental supervision, Amanda relaxed a lot.

Tanit and she don't have boyfriends, and at school, the two of them go in and out together, and when they come home from school, they play together.

What Tanit and Amanda are most interested in is filming every bit of the town on camera, accompanied by narration by the two.

Just about to say that the man Tanit is closest to, there is only Brian.

There are some words, whether it is Wang Lei, or Coleman and Julie, they can't ask the little girl in front of them directly.

After thinking about it, Wang Lei asked from a different angle: "If Tanit doesn't catch the school bus, when someone drives by on the side of the road, stop and let her take a ride, will Tanit go up?" ”

It's strange that Amanda doesn't know what to do, everyone in the town is familiar with each other, what's the big deal about hitchhiking, this is a common thing, and it is a common thing for children in any small town.

Back in the town's hotel room, where several people sit together, Coleman thinks it's most likely that Tanit missed the school bus, met a familiar person passing by, got into the person's car, and disappeared.

The question is, if someone kidnapped Tanit, for what purpose? Ransom? Strong. Traitor? Abduct?

Paul retrieved several documents he had received from the branch information processing center on his mobile phone in the afternoon and showed them to everyone. Although there is no surveillance in the town, there are cameras on the highway leading out of the town.

The branch retrieved all the vehicles that had left the town the day before, a total of only about 10 cars, and through the monitoring and verification along the road, it was proved that these cars had nothing to do with Tanit.

"The most likely is that Tanit is hidden by someone in a house in the town, or in the mountains and forests outside the town." Julie's opinion was accepted by everyone, and only in this way was it in line with the conclusions of the investigation of the branch information processing center.

Except for Wang Lei, all three agreed to target the suspect at Brian, who met all the suspect's requirements, was familiar with Tanit, had lewd behavior, and had a car.

Wang Lei is not against it, he just feels that he has not yet figured out the relationship between Brian and Rebecca's mother and daughter. Moreover, this criterion is too simplistic to make correct judgments and profiles.

Speaking of which, every adult in the town is going to be suspicious, because they are not far from the current standard.

After midnight, Wang Lei's door was knocked violently, he quickly turned over, put on a nightgown and went to open the door, and outside the door was Mayor Brian.

"Our search team found Tanit's camera, right at the entrance to the forest." Brian's words are a mixture of excitement and anxiety.

They all called out to the town, and the entrance to the mountain forest was on the other side, in the opposite direction to the children's school.
